CRIME TIPS PROGRAM FALTERS
Some of New Jersey's largest drug arrests have originated with tips from
hotel desk clerks. But The Record of Bergen County reported yesterday that
the state police hotel squad had not made any arrests based on tips from
hotel clerks since new rules put into place in August barred the squad from
getting information from hotel registration cards. In 1999, the program was
suspended for several months amid charges that clerks were told to identify
Hispanic guests. (AP)
